The 2011 NFL Thread

Wow Dallas and Jets both look pretty bad.

Well the Falcons are way overrated, but yeah I'm not sure how the hell Chicago seems to keep beating good teams.

I really did see 10 wins as realistic, but yeah that was optimistic and things have certainly taken a pretty bad turn. Hell, this may be the first time in years I've just flat out not watched the Giants.  I may end up a Jets fan for this season.
Shame is, this is the make or break year.
I like Coughlin and especially Jerry Reese but guessing they'll be gone after this season, and Bill Cowher will be the next coach.


Did pretty good with my picks: Ravens, Houston (durr), Detroit, San Fran, Arizona, Skins and Jets.

Really was surprised by Chicago, Buffalo and Cleveland. I like Colt McCoy and thought for sure the Bungles would struggle.
The cards are weak on defense and especially the secondary but still, Cam is the first guy to throw for 400 yards in his first game and it really wasn't too bad.

Oh Romo.  lololol

^ I was one of those "Aints" fans during those horrible years in New Orleans, going to the Superdome to watch horrid football was a very depressing way to spend a Sunday afternoon. But hey...at least we had Bourbon Street and the French Quarter afterwards!!

I never wore one at the games.......but after a couple Hurricanes on Bourbon Street, I might have, I just don't recall..

Really, the difference in the game was that blocked punt returned for a TD, how the hell do you let such a gap open on a punt??? lolcowboys And my depressive state is finally over, now just rage   This feels like 2010 never ended. Exact same problems for the Giants. Potential on offense but mainly anemic. 1 for 10 on third downs, can't move the ball on 3rd and 1, turnovers. Special teams: poor returns and coverage. Penalties and mistakes. It's all the same story. Only positive is even with the new/beat up defense they shut down the run and JPP is the real deal it seems. May not be complete yet but he gets a nasty pass rush whenever he's in.

The problem was that they had a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter with the ball on the 2. Instead of just running the ball down the gut 4 times to either score or pin the Jets inside the 5, Garrett got cute with the play calls. Romo then tried to get cute rather than just letting the play die and kicking a field goal.

Dolphins have two of the best corners in the game. They have a shot to win if they can get some ST play. 

Cameron Wake is a beast. 

So 5 mins ago I had handily defeated my opponent in fantasy this week by making some great scrapheap pick ups and clever matchup starts UNTIL f**kING WES WELKER CATCHES A 99 YRD TD PASS WITH 5 MINS LEFT IN THE GAME AS THE LAST POINTS TO BE RECORDED BECAUSE THE DOLPHINS ARE A f**kING TERRIBLE TEAM BURN IN HELL.
